Whole-Genome Sequence of Staphylococcus hominis Strain J31 Isolated from Healthy Human Skin

Genome Announc. 2017 Apr 13;5(15):e01548-16. doi: 10.1128/genomeA.01548-16.

Abstract

We report here the first whole-genome sequence of a skin-associated strain of Staphylococcus hominis determined using the PacBio long-read sequencing platform. S. hominis is a major commensal of the skin microflora. This genome sequence adds to our understanding of this species and will aid studies of gene traffic between staphylococci.
